Belfast

Few communities on Maine’s coast have a history as closely tied to 19th-century shipbuilding and seaborne trade as Belfast. Set at the head of Belfast Bay, an inlet of Penobscot Bay, the city is also where the Passagassawakeag River reaches salt water. Its waterfront and compact centre reflect a port shaped by coastal commerce, while the Belfast Harbor Walk follows part of the shoreline. Brick commercial buildings from the 19th century and older homes behind Main Street give the town a recognisable midcoast Maine character. Galleries, independent shops and seasonal community events keep the centre active.
